    Wow, your pool build makes mine look like I got it at Toys R Us!

    Drywalling in there around all that equipment is going to be a bear!

    Thanks Jim. It's finally moving forward again. Had a few slow weeks, but now we're looking to fill in about 2 or 3 weeks. Wooohooo!

    Don't suppose you've got some spare time to come help with the drywall? I'll grill up a steak and give you all the beer you can handle.

    Yeah. We've gotten to be pretty good friends with the landscaper (who built the building for us) and I couldn't sucker him into either...but he is taking me up on the steaks and beer once we're all done.

    Hmmmm. Steaks and beer, huh? Is that offer still good???

    A question about drywall: are you going to use green board or concrete board?

    Sure, Former. Medium, Medium-rare, or Rare? I dont' do Well, unless I've have too many of those beers and forget I'm cooking.

    I've only drywalled once with a friend before, so I'm not sure. I'll have to do some research before I start. Recommendation?

    R.A.R.E. or they sometimes call it blue. Cool to cold center. Thanks for asking.

    Green board is for bathroom walls, concrete board for shower walls. Personally I suggest concrete board as it could get wet in there. Equipment erupts sometimes, especially if you've had that extra beer and forget to close a valve or something.... (YOU brought up the beer forgetfulness...) If you have a pressure release valve on your filter, lotsa water!

    You have a heater, right? The heater needs to be vented too. I think someone could make a ton of money figuring out how to capture all the heat that escapes a heater. You could even cook my steak over the exhaust... Hmmmm. Grill-Pool Heater combo. That's an idea! But really, heaters do have an incredible output. Vent that puppy.
